Being as big a Jay-Z and Kanye fan as I am. The album was kinda weak. I do like otis, new day, Illest M*&(^(&*^*& alive, why i love you, gotta have it, Murder To Excellence, and the joy are really the only songs that i liked.

As a caucasian man who grew up in the woods of Bonney Lake WA back when it was woods, and will turn 52 in a week, I would just like to say - What do those words you typed actually mean? It's like a whole different language! Maybe I should just curl up with my vinyl 70s rock albums and listen to them skip until I die...

Listened to some music from Jay-z and Kanye, watch the throne that is and didn't like it all. I think Hell:Sequel is much better in terms of lyrics. I was listening to Recovery on the way to work today, love that album. As of Carter IV, I don't listen to Lil wayne, he is just terrible!

haha duuuude when i first heard Luck One, it was on one of those seattle hip hop blog sites and i was like "man i've never seen those places in seattle" only to realize he was from portland and the site was dedicated to all northwest hip hop haha.

I likes him, have you heard the King Of The Northwest mixtape?

Yeah man, we worked on that at my studio this past summer. Luck's definitely one of my favorite rappers in the NW.

J.Coles album is probably in the running for the best. Drakes album was wayyyyyyyyyy too feminine for me (Thank Me Later was better IMO but hits mixtapes were some of Drakes best stuff), the singing and girly songs are cool for like 4 tracks, but if you're a rapper (unless you're LL) shouldn't be doing that haha.

For some reason I just cant get into J. Cole. I keep trying to like but I just cant get into it. I dont hate it I just cant bump it. Tech Nine I just cant stand.

Right now I am hooked on The Roots and I cant figure out why. Not really a big East Coast guy and it is def east coast. The day I put it in I havent stopped. I move to something else it lasts a week and I am right back The Roots.

Also, I'm sure a lot of you guys have already heard Temptation by Kendrick/J.Cole....still waiting for the actual release.

I noticed you were from Wisconsin. Have you heard of this dude named Gerald Walker? hes from Milwaukee.

"scream" was produced by Kuddie Fresh. He used to be part of the CoOP Prouduction team with this cat named Tryfe. Tryfe is definetly one of the coolest dudes i've met in me trying to get my ishbop together doing beats, he really taught me and my partner in crime A LOT, even let us sit in on sessions when the artist was cool with it. Tryfe is doing some cool things too himself

this is kind of out of the norm for me but this songs kinda dope to me.

I don't listen to much rap anymore, but if you appreciate lyrical skill then you'd like this group. They're pretty much the only thing new I listen to. Even though I am kind of excited to hear Planet Asia's new CD. Slaughterhouse has artists from different parts of the country but it's amazing that they all complement each other nicely on their songs. Check out "Microphone" if you haven't heard it. I'll try to link them but I've never linked before on here so I'm not sure if it'll work. Also try "Sound Off".
